Give me a few minutes and Ill have some pics up for you
That little detent thing is what makes it a pain in the ass.
You have to get the castle nut close, line up the reciever extension, hold the end plate and get the takedown spring lined up, (careful not to bend it), while getting the "Detent" in the groove of the reciever extension.
I like to use needle nose pliers or a toothpick. It has to be something small. Even a set of picks works, if it goes in long-ways then it can be a bitch
i see that is a bit different. that rifle look pretty beat up is that your patrol rifle
Lol Thank you! I take that as a compliment! You could say that. Im not Mil. or LEO.
I use my rifles. On a weekly basis. I dont throw it on the ground or anything but it DOES get used.
Why you think I make my pics so nice, If I didnt then it just looks like a POS beat up rifle
